Breaking into the Museum of London
Date: 15 September
A series of short films made by 14 young Londoners who were given special access to 'break into' the Museum of London will be screened for the first time on the 15 September 2010. The live screening will be followed by a discussion about video as a medium for young people looking at the history of their city.
Working with the newly launched Galleries of Modern London, and assisted by museum personnel and creative film-makers in a five day workshop, 14 young people from the North Kensington area produced a film each of 1 to 3 minutes, inspired by a particular object in the Museum of London's collection.
The themes of their films range across race and class discrimination; classification and categorization; migration; Black and other political struggles like the late 20th Century Brixton and Poll Tax riots; the Asian presence in London; women's rights.
The project was devised and led by Manifesta, with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to encourage youth participation. The young participants were recruited for the project by the Octavia Foundation and St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College.
